Communications Suite Example

This example installs most of the Java ES and Communications Suite product components
to implement communication and collaboration services across four hosts.

Requirements and Sequence Issues

Directory Server is required for all the communications product
components, but not necessarily a local copy. Access Manager or the Access Manager SDK
is required, but Access Manager can be remote. In this example, Web Server fulfills
the Access Manager requirement for a web container. Although Calendar Server and Messaging Server do
not require a local web container, Communications Express does. Communications Express can
use remote copies of Calendar Server and Messaging Server.

To implement single sign-on, Instant Messaging requires Access Manager and
a local or remote web container. Portal Server Secure Remote Access requires Access Manager and
a local web container. Portal Server Secure Remote Access must be installed in the same
location as Portal Server. Access Manager and Portal Server cannot
use different web containers.

For large deployments, you might deploy each product component on a
separate server, in approximately the same order shown in this example. For
small deployments, product components are installed in separate installation
sessions on fewer servers.
